Hello Family and Friends
Today (Sunday) has been a super LONG day! Woke up at 8 15 am and ate breakfast with the Uganda Students. Then we hit the road and headed southwest to Kebele. On the way there we stopped by the equator shops. It was raining extremely hard today on the equator so I didn’t get a chance to get any pictures. I bought many items at the shops today. Items here are priced fairly expensive, but we are advised to bargain with the shop owners to get a better price. Today I might have spent 140,000 Ugandan Schillings which is about 70 US dollars. I bought some great pieces of art! The trip was a LONG one. Kebele is only 175 miles away from Kampala which is equivalent to the distance between Des Moines and Kansas City. It takes me only 2.5 hours to drive home but due to the poor roadways here it is a 4 hour trip! After the Equator shops we headed to Lakeview National Park which is a smaller national park. I saw a couple of animals such as antelopes and warthogs. It was really cool! Tomorrow we are heading to Lake Bunyoni where we are just going to relax. This should be nice and peaceful.
I will try my best to keep you all posted,
Talk to you later.
